00:00
And the last game from yesterday, we had a toilet bowl game out in Vegas between the Jags and the Raiders.
00:07
And this game actually had a lot of significance because draft seeding is important.
00:12
Who's going to be where in the NFL draft?
00:14
The Raiders actually could have lost their last three games and by percentage points with strength of schedule,
00:21
would have gotten it over the Giants, believe it or not, if they both finished with two wins.
00:26
Well, the Giants don't have to worry about that anymore because the Raiders won.
00:30
They beat the Jags 19-14.
00:34
So that moves the Raiders, Scotty, from potentially having the first pick to now being in the sixth pick in the draft.
00:42
They fall six spots by winning that game.
00:45
Giants are 2-13 and all by themselves at the top.
00:48
So New England, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, and Vegas all at 3-12.
00:55
Carolina Jets, Chicago at 4-11.
00:57
So still over these next two weeks, teams can either improve their draft status or torpedo their draft status,
01:08
like the Raiders did yesterday out in Vegas.
01:11
You can't even make it up.
01:12
I was watching the game and I'm like, are they going to win this game?
01:15
Are you serious?
01:16
And then they win the game and just open the door for the Giants.
01:20
And then look what happened to them.
01:21
They fall even further down the pile and it was just a horrible win.
01:26
Bottom line, it was a horrible win.
01:28
They didn't need to win.
01:29
They needed to lose and they couldn't even do that right.
01:33
They couldn't even do that right.
01:35
And now, like, what hurts you is that they're one of these teams up here that, you know, wants a quarterback and needs a quarterback.
01:43
And there's only really two.
01:45
You know, there's Sanders and Ward.
01:47
There ain't going to be any beyond that at the top of this draft.
01:51
Now, New England, Jacksonville, I think Tennessee is going to be in the market for one as well with the way things have gone for them this year.
01:58
So Vegas is now going to need some teams to do what they did yesterday and actually win some games in order to find themselves back up the list.
02:07
But who knows?
02:08
Maybe the Giants will screw it up, too, at some point.
02:11
The Giants are good at screwing things up.
02:13
So maybe they will.
02:14
I don't think they're going to screw it up.
02:15
I really don't.
02:16
I think they've got it figured out.
02:17
Lose and then get the top pick.
02:20
They got it down to a science.
02:21
They lose every week.
02:22
Automatic.
02:23
They've done a pretty good job of that.
